She is so good at finding the areas where you are holding tension. The hot towels are beautiful. Colleen worked on my daughter, and my daughter left in a similar state of bliss and tranquility. It felt therapeutic, rather than clinical. We enjoyed the Bliss Package, and I was so pleased that they could accommodate both of us at once, in the same room. I highly recommend this as a Mother-Daughter experience. The historic building and the beautiful grounds add to the charm and sense of separation from the world of busy activity and stress. I highly recommend this spa to anyone looking to unwind and relax in an environment that basically instills that feeling. Enter quietly, to preserve the calm atmosphere. Parking is behind the spa house, and spots are plentiful. Enjoy yourself, relieve your stress, feel more invigorated: you can get this at Ignite Your Soul.

While waiting they will serve you tea or coffee, they have delicious little cookies and it doesn't feel like you are waiting at all because of the serene music, beautiful Paris inspired decor, and the SUPER comfy chairs. The staff are all very talented and just from the introduction you can tell they know exactly what they are doing. This place is a touch pricey but well worth it and they have specials all the time. Great for pre prom, they do makeup as well and the makeup is mineral makeup which is natural and not harsh on your skin. The makeup is even available for purchase after. This Is definitely a place worth visiting, either with a group of people, your significant other or just to treat yourself.

My major complaint is regarding the hair salon, hair cuts are average at best although they do have a few skilled hairstylists who need to go elsewhere. Price points are high for the service provided. Customer service is LACKING. I missed ONE hair appointment due to unforeseen circumstances and the manager emailed me scolding me like a child telling me that I am no longer privileged to make an appointment in advance and now have to pay for all services upfront. LOL what is this a doctor's office? I've been coming here for years. I am shocked at how poorly they treat their customers and have never been treated this way at any other hair salon. I have recommended massages here before and will never again. Due to this, I will never EVER come here again for neither hair services or spa appointments. Lifespa needs an attitude adjustment.

I loved it as well. While it had the luxury trappings, it was smaller than I had anticipated. Nonetheless, my massage was excellent. The atmosphere was very calm and serene.

Excellent rates and very friendly. Thanks Amy!!

Do not book an appointment here…read more There are a lot of other spas in Ajax that would welcome your business and will appreciate you. I guess this is what happens when the spa manager gets paid regardless of whether a client books an appointment or not or whether the customer is happy or not...she still gets paid. One of the reasons I book a spa package is to get that ZEN, but before i even set foot in this spa, Zen is gone and i was simply just stressed out because of what the spa manager made me experience. I was looking for a Spa in Ajax where i can come once a month and spend about $400 per session. The owner should be aware as to how the customers and potential customers are treated by the staff. The Spa Manager is rude and condescending and needs training in customer service. Not only did I find her rude, they are also way too busy for you... i understand that other spas can be busy as well but they make sure their being busy is not the client's problem and make it invisible to the clients. I took the time to detail out the questions I have and to detail out the services I want but when I was on the phone I was asked if I wanted a female RMT and if a Saturday appointment would do when it was clearly stated in my email that no weekend bookings and only a Female MRT for me. When explaining what I wanted over the phone, I was rudely cut off and accused of changing the services I want several times when I only made 1 change - to NOT use their package and instead simply do the services as is. Then she said they are too busy to reply so I will reply some other day but then I waited and waited and nothing How many times can the reception/manager make you feel that your business is unwanted? Perhaps they are already busy that they do not need my business or they get paid their hourly wage either way...happy customer or not. I am sure the spa manager will have a story to show she wasn't in the wrong, but none of her stories will bring me back. Also this review is not about right or wrong, it is about how i was treated as an unwanted customer and that they are way too busy for me and that they lack customer service. If you are looking for a spa in Ajax or in the Durham Area, do not book here. You can book elsewhere where you and your business will be greatly appreciated. Imagine, i haven't even stepped in the spa and already have this experience. I cringe at the thought of actually going there. Beware of the spa manager... Too bad i am forced to choose at least 1 star to post this review, I would have given ZERO if i could.

Then we arrive at the spa and told that they found out 30 mins prior to our arrival that the 2nd female rmt is not trained for hot stone massage. Forced to take Swedish massage that we didn't want Lessons learned don't listen to the receptionist. We booked this appoint at the time they suggested to get what we wanted. She lied to me and said both were trained for hot stone and rmt. The guy I had terry was not very good at all. I have had many hot stone therapy and this was one of the worst. I won't be back here. Looks nice inside but the service and the customer service sucks. Trust me book elsewhere. Very annoyed taking time off work and paying this $$ for not what was ordered.

Our check-in and arrival felt chaotic and stressful which was opposite of how we wanted to feel starting our serene day. So, I would recommend arriving more than 15 minutes early. Once we had our massages, we felt brand new. We all had a great massage. We then spent the rest of the day exploring the saunas, steam rooms, and various pools. Our favorite experience was the artisan aufguss at the logga. I highly recommend attending a session at the logga, it was amazing. We were able to get fresh towels and robes all day at the guest services counter. It also looked like you could book additional services at the guest counter if you wanted to add on to your day. Several people I talked with at the spa recommended I try the Kalla next time I visit. We ate lunch at La Resto - the food was good and the interior was cozy and made for a great spot to relax and talk. Overall, we had a full day of relaxing and I would immediately do it again.

You are provided a wrist band that gets you access to your locker (has a robe & towel). This can be done on your own with staff assistance. There are several hot tubs, relaxing room, hammocks (my favourite part) swings &, fire place, sauna, cold plunges. There are communal activities taking place throughout the day. Food: A couple restaurants on site, found them to be overpriced but that's the only food available on premises so if you are hungry, it's your best option. We were there several hours so naturally we did get hungry. Massage: Once it's your massage time, you head to the 2nd floor where you have access to water and tea until it's your massage time. The massage itself wasn't anything to rave about. It felt all over the place, one second one leg next arm and back to leg and all of a sudden shoulder. It was just a little confusing. Facilities: I found the bathrooms & showers needed tending to, there was hair in the showers. Overall, You can easily relax and spend several hours here. It was relaxing despite the rain, we enjoyed being outdoors and relaxing. Eventually it did get really busy so suggestion to arrive early
